Sheboygan, Wis. – Mar. 25, 2015 – CITGO Petroleum Corporation recognizes Marketer Quality State Oil Company of Sheboygan, Wis., for 30 years of continuous, dedicated service to its brand and the retailers it serves.  Since first becoming a CITGO Marketer, Quality State Oil has grown to supply nearly 40 locally owned and operated Q Mart convenience stores and CITGO gas stations in Wisconsin.

“In 1985 Quality State Oil became one of the first CITGO branded fuel distributors in Wisconsin,” said Alan Flagg, CITGO Assistant Vice President of Supply and Marketing. “Since then, it has become not only a vital contributor to our business – but to the community it serves. We deeply appreciate Quality State Oil’s commitment to service.”

Quality State Oil is the leading fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in Wisconsin, a charity CITGO supports throughout the country. Over the past 25 years, Quality State Oil raised more than $1 million in the fight against neuromuscular disease.

“It has been a pleasure to work with such a flexible and innovative company.  We are proud to work with CITGO not only distributing fuel, but also raising money for great causes like the Muscular Dystrophy Association,” said Scott Stangel, wholesale marketing manager at Quality State Oil, during a state-wide distributor meeting in January.
